I added this to my 'to read' pile at Worldcon last year, but I haven't gotten it yet. Clearly, it's time to remedy that.

I've done my taxes for years now and somehow have never leveled up. Otherwise, this seems like a good comparison.

I didn't think. I loved 1-3, but 4 and 5 just had too much going on.

The full name is the Tisztelet és Szabadság Párt, which means the Respect and Freedom Party. They just used the familiar name of the river Tisza as an abbreviation. I don't think it has more significance than that afaik.

Omg. I just let out a breath I've been holding forever.

Fuck Orbán an all plutocrats like him.

I'll definitely watch it. The kind of vote buying they're talking about absolutely happens, but that's a different issue than vote counting. With the massive turnout (hopefully for Tisza and Péter Magyar), I don't think the government could have enough of this kind of vote-buying to make a diff. 🤞

It's pretty hard to cheat at voting sites in Hungary. There are observers from all sides who count votes and their counts need to match to go forward and report anything. The place where Orbán can possibly cheat is in votes coming from abroad.

So he was only on loan for the year, right? So we might likely never see him suit up in rave green again.

He ought to be suspended for the Final Four. That's ridiculous. He's the reason I can't stand UConn. What a jerk.

Wait! The deadline is noon *Pacific time*! I could agonize about these for another two and a half hours!

Got my #Hugo noms in with, like, at least 5 mins to spare.

We're good with CBs after Tino Lopez got signed and ARoldan revealed himself to be a positional Swiss army knife. Gotta be Kingston coming up next.

No no no no! Do not like!

Assuming this actually happens, we better be getting CO to back up the $$ truck.

Just remember, you should be somewhere around Barstow at the edge of the desert before the drugs take hold.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests There's a kind of forest in western Oregon that you feel before you understand. The BLM just gave the timber industry permission to tear it all down.

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...

I think I have a quantum observer effect in Santa Clara. Every time I watch the game, they do worse. When I turn away it go to the kitchen, they do better. Maybe I shouldn't watch overtime? #NCAA

Definitely hoping for more Veres in English, though! He really is spectacular.

I learned what I learned by living there for a while (my wife is Hungarian). I don't know that I could have learned it in a class or via self-study like I did French or Irish, but when you pick it up via immersion it's not really harder or easier than any other language.

I loved this collection so much. It makes me feel like I really need to brush up my Hungarian and get back to Veres' novel Odakint Sötétebb. He is just so amazingly good.

Yeah. I picked them in my bracket, but I knew they'd lose. Texas AM basically has a home game, plus they are just shoving SMC around.
